Efcc clutching at straws and chasing shadows. Now that Daura Lawal is out of the picture, it's payback time for the midget dwarf Magu to rip off pounds of flesh from his enemies.

Re: EFCC Releases Ita Ekpeyong by klax(m): 6:52am On Aug 10, 2018
Pls Nigerians(Pls i don't mean any apc because apc members are not Nigerians) can anyone tells me when did EFCC now become police, army, dss or sss in Nigeria?

Efcc, you arrest this man for what? Was their any money missing and if their is money missing how much are we talking about?

So you need to arrest someone to forcefully get information about others and pls what information are you looking for?

Is Daura accused of any loot or stolen cash or stolen property? Pls I don't get this foolishness by EFCC? Any way I know Magu will be the next he won't only be fire he will go to jail no doubt about that.

Did Magu even understand the full meaning of EFCC at all? I guess No. I can't blame him how are we sure he too is not a transmission transmitter ex police office Mr quota system benefactor.

Re: EFCC Releases Ita Ekpeyong by Eketem(op): 6:56am On Aug 10, 2018
He was invited because all the money he left was mismanaged by Daura, Daura was trying to cover himself that is why he prevented the initial invitation so he won't be exposed.

The committee on arm deal had already cleared Ita long ago
